My overall goal is to improve the ability of real-time 3D ultrasound to detect and aid in treating internal bleeding. The application of my work will be for a portable device which uses diagnostic ultrasound to detect internal bleeding and then applies high intensity focused ultrasound to non-invasively coagulate the bleed. I propose adding parametric ultrasound data such as color and power Doppler and B-flow to the B-mode grayscale images to aid in identifying and segmenting vessels. I then propose using physics-based models of blood flow on segmented vasculature to predict expected normal flows and locate vascular injury in the patient. |
